Currently home distilling is illegal in the US. This petition aims to legalize home distilling. Since 1979, home brewing has been legal, the current artisanal renaissance in craft beers can be connected to this legalization. Home brewers emerge with legalization and openly compete in competition and are able to practice brewing skills without fear of retribution of the law. If home distilling was legalized, I argue we would see a similar renaissance emerge with craft liquors and spirits across the US. The taxes loss from home distilling would be regained by the sale of the local craft spirits and liquors. It's time to legalize this so home distillers can flourish and launch businesses that feed into the current artisanal movement.
